Includes PDF downloads of keyboard reductions and madrigal scores/parts

Newly edited by Gawain Glenton and presented with a side-by-side English/Italian translation of Bovicelli's treatise by Oliver Webber, this volume represents a key text for anyone interested in the performance styles and practices of the 16th- and 17th centuries. The printed volume includes Bovicelli's important advice and instructions for making passaggi alongside his copious musical examples, plus his eight ornamented madrigals and three sets of falsibordone.
